Phoenix Lyrics

I woke up in Phoenix

Late last year, circling the west

I took off with my heart in your hands

Broken by silence…and the rest

It was snowing in Spokane

Mountains crying rain

I was empty by Salt Lake

I couldn't take the pain

Oh, I can't outrun my mind, babe

Or what it's thinking of

I don't know who I am, babe

If I'm not the man you love

Turn out the lights, lock all the doors

I took the long way, I know what for

I can't steer my story straight

Now that you don't love me anymore

When I finally saw you both at her wedding

I told an inside joke

With him right there you said I look good

I said, "I know"

I was sick from smiling

Your eyes were all champagne

I caught you catch me looking back

As we walked away

There ain't no sound as loud

As the sound of all that we don't say

So turn out the lights, turn down the bed

"Death do you part" rings in your head

Set aside that dress that you wore

And act like you don't love me anymore

I woke up in a sunbeam

Yesterday, gold in the air

The day spread out before me

A year of nights brought me there

But I'm tired of last night

Last night lasts for days

I woke up when I woke up

With one thing left to say

My life is a gift, babe

And it isn't mine to waste

So turn on the lights, walk out the door

I took the long way, I know what for

I can see my story straight

Now that you don't love me anymore
